Someone on twitter was saying 3000+.

Santorum got 2300 last week according to the media, so partisans of his might not want to say this is bigger, or his may have been bigger too, I don't get media and numbers. At least they didn't say 'hundreds' this time...

Thanks, I am subscribed to a lot of youtube channels that support Dr Paul. It's one of the things that keep me sane...LOL

I'd have to see it to believe it. I still see a lot of this.

I saw the dates wrong too but it's not my pic so I can't correct it.

Well, it is very cool, any how.

[TheNewYorker]

How is it that Ron Paul attracts thousands to his events, while other "main stream" candidates attract maybe 10-30 people tops? And yet Ron Paul polls so low and doesn't win states? Hmm. And who wonders if the votes are rigged?

[Paul4Prez]

It's sad, but not surprising, that the national media have never honestly covered the Ron Paul campaign, despite the evidence from the beginning that he was trailing only Romney in fundraising and organization, and trailing no one in grassroots enthusiasm. They are either told to ignore him, or just assume he can't win due to his foreign policy stance, even though enough Republicans view him favorably that he could win a sizable plurality in a 3 or 4 candidate race.

More crowd mashups please!! Stamp 'em with dates and/or location so that its clear we're comparing apples to apples.

Of the 8 speeches RP gave from Feb 16th - 18th, that would get my vote for the best, with the possible exception of the Spokane one which I haven't listened to yet.

Here's another I found. Both were from the same day though I am unsure where Santorum had his speech that day and Dr. Paul's is from the other side of the auditorium from the same rally as above.

Great idea. Im trying to put one together now. Contrasting images like this can have a profound affect.

[Lisa100]

I agree. Great concept! More side by side pics of the audience size of each candidate! Thanks!

[Dutch]

Those crowds are a great audience to hammer home the importance of GOTV.
Drawing crowds has never been a problem. GOTV has.

Ron is speaking in a hockey arena, not an auditorium, for what it is worth. It is the only one of his stops where the entire crowd could get in. In one, where over 800 were left outside, the campaign set up a quick podium and mic so he could give an abridged speech to the crowd outside, after his main speech.

[GraniteHills]

RP = 3,000 inside a hockey arena

Rick = 150 inside a hotel conference room + CNN/FOX/MSNBC/networks/mainstream print coverage/mainstream Web coverage/mainstream radio = millions plus 150
